1  lis  selection  of  views  in  Cape  Hrcton  is  intended  to  place  in  the  liamls  of  the  pulilic  a  few  illus- 
trations of  places  of  historic  interest  in  that  island.  'I'lie  scenery  of  Cape  Hrelon,  Mar^;aree 
and  the  Bras  D'Or  Lake  is  unrivalled  \i\  the  Maritime  provinces.  Louislxiur^;  and  Sydney  are 
Ixjth  towns  of  historic  interest.  '!'he  former  is  the  scene  of  the  ^{reat  stru^(^;les  which  resulted  in  the 
yx  permanent  occupation  of  the  island  by  the  Uritish;  while  the  latter  became  the  centre  of  l',n^;lisli 
authority,  being  the  cetitre  of  a  separate  military  government  from  1784  to  1S19. 
The  citadel  of  l.ouislx>urg  was  a  work  after  the  plan  of  N'auban.  It  was  maj;nilicent  in  extent  and 
design  but  badly  built  and  poorly  armed.  The  outlines  of  this  fortification  can  still  be  distinctly  traced. 
Four  bombproof  casements  in  a  state  of  partial  preservation  still  mark  the  site  of  the  "  King's  liastion," 
which  defended  the  citadel  on  the  north;  while  the  "(,)ueen's  Hastion  "  occupied  the  opposite  angle,  where 
the  remains  of  three  other  casements  are  yet  to  be  seen.  This  view  is  in  the  direction  of  the  light -house 
and  the  English  Harbour,  towarls  the  Last. 

Sydney  is  the  county  town  of  Cape  Breton  County,  and  is  commercially  the  centre  of  the  coaling 
region.  The  place  has  a  population  of  alx)ut  3,000.  Its  harlx)ur  is  one  of  the  largest  and  safest  in  the 
world,  and,  next  to  Halifax,  has  more  shipping  trade  than  any  other  part  in  the  lower  provinces.  A 
small  garrison  was  stationed  here  up  to  the  time  of  the  Crimean  War,  and  the  harlxiur  is  still  fre(|uented 
by  English  and  l''reni;h  war  ships  during  the  summer  months.  Five  miles  distant,  and  on  the  opposite 
side  of  the  harlxjur,  is  North  Sidney,  formerly  called  the  "Bar."'     It  has  grown  up  during  the  last  twenty

cable  lands  here.  'I'liis  is  a  place  of  considerable  cnter|)rise,  and  is  a  port  of  cal  for  ships  from  Kurope 
bound  to  Atlantic  and  St.  Lawrence  ports. 

SI.  I'eter's  (anal  is  about  halt  a  nule  in  length  and  has  been  cut  lor  the  most  part  oui  i  •'  tlic  solid 
rock.  Il  CI iinuils  the  Atlantic  with  the  liras  D'Or  l..ike  towards  the  South  West,  „nd  thus  provides  a 
water  route  from  Sidney  to  the  Strait  of  C'anso,  through  the  interior  of  the  island.  The  scenery  all  alonj; 
this  route  is  very  line.  "( irand  Narrows  "  is  a  narrow  and  deep  |iassa^;eformini;  the  eastern  inlet  to  Bras 
I  I't  'r  Lake.  The  bridt^e  seen  in  the  illustration  is  1,750  feet  in  len^;tli,  and  the  depth  of  the  '.vater  is  175 
feet.  A  hotel  has  been  built  here  for  the  acconimndation  of  travelers  and  tourists.  The  (irand  Narrows 
are  about  h.ilf-way  between  Sidney  and  llie  Str.iit  of  Canso. 

'I'lu'  risi;e  Dan  Falls,  125  feet  in  height,  are  in  the  midst  of  wild  and  rn^jtjcd  scenery.  The  name 
signifies  "White  Water  Kails.  '  These encry  of  In^onish  is  very  jjrand.  The  inner  harbor,  surrounded  by 
bohl  anil  wooded  hei^;hls,  is  very  much  admired.  Near  this  place  is  ("ape  Knferme,  2,100  feet  in  hei(.;ht, 
the  hi^^hest  headland  in  the  Maritime  Provinces.  I!a(lde<k  is  the  county  town  of  \  ictr>ria  County.  The 
scenery  in  this  neii;hborhood  is  varied  and  beautiful,  and  attracts  visitors  durini;  the  summer  months. 
The  eminence  on  the  ri^ht  in  the  \  iew  entitled  "I'ishin^;  at  Martjaree"  is  "Cape  C'lear,"  the  hi(;liest 
point  of  land  in  the  Lower  I'rovinces. 

I'his  little  volume  is  the  lourth  in  number  of  a  series  entitled  "(ape  Breton  Illustrated."  The  lirst 
(a  larLj'  volume)  (lesi),'nated  ''Lonisbourj,'.  Historic,  1  lescriplive  and  l'icttuesi|ue,"  is  devoted  to  the  history 
of  iiuii  l''rench  slroni^hold.  Both  siej;es  will  be  described  in  detail.  The  oritjin  and  result  of  the  conllict 
between  the  I'urilans,  the  Krench  and  the  British  in  North  America  will  be  considered.  The  book  will  be 
lliiely  illustrated,  and  it  is  hoped  that  the  |)ublic  mav  lind  it  both  tasteful  and  instructive.
